Broncos' Dre Greenlaw ranked among NFL's best linebackers
Broncos' Dre Greenlaw ranked among NFL's best linebackers Pro Football Focus writer Mason Cameron recently released his list of the top 32 linebackers ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Although a free agent signing from the San Francisco 49ers, Cameron selected Denver Broncos newcomer Dre Greenlaw as one of the NFL's top linebackers. Cameron chose Greenlaw as the fifth-best linebacker, primarily based on his play before his Achilles injury in the Super Bowl in February 2024. While he played two games in 2024, his 247 tackles combined in 2022 and 2023 will help build an impressive resume while showing his reputation as a linebacker. Cameron quickly noted that Greenlaw, when healthy, is a top-tier linebacker; he did draw on the concern that there are questions about his health. 'Although he played just 34 snaps in 2024, Greenlaw was on his way to the upper echelon of linebacker play before his injury," Cameron wrote for PFF. "His profile as one of the best coverage linebackers in the NFL was on full display from 2022 to 2023, when he posted a combined 88.9 PFF coverage grade. While there are questions regarding the level he can return to, Greenlaw's ceiling is high and worthy of this lofty placement.' Denver hopes Greenlaw can help further transform the Broncos' defense, which was among the NFL's best last fall. With Pat Surtain in the secondary, Greenlaw's presence in the middle can help Denver get over the hump in 2025, health permitting. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Sean Payton: Dre Greenlaw is "on schedule" to fully participate in training camp
Draft weekend ended with a report that linebacker Dre Greenlaw's first season with the Broncos may be over before it started with a quadriceps injury. That sparked a flurry of reports (including ours) that Greenlaw would be good to go for training camp. On Saturday, Broncos coach Sean Payton confirmed that Greenlaw is on track for the start of camp. 'He's on schedule,' Payton said, via Luca Evans of the Denver Post. 'And I saw the early reports. You don't know how tempted I get sometimes, but I had to show great restraint.' Payton added that Greenlaw will be a 'full participant in training camp.' Greenlaw signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Broncos in free agency, after six years with the 49ers. He was limited to two games in 2024 after tearing an Achilles tendon during Super Bowl LVIII.

Ontario councillors could be fired for code of conduct violations under new legislation
The Ford government is planning to crackdown on municipal councillors found violating codes of conduct, introducing stiffer measures that could see a councillor forcibly removed. On Thursday, the province re-introduced legislation that was brought forward prior to Ontario's election, proposing changes through the Municipality Accountability Act. The proposed legislation intends to standardize codes of conduct and training across Ontario and a consistent integrity commissioner inquiry process for councils to utilize. For more serious violations, a sitting municipal councillor could face being kicked off council for a four-year period under Ontario's proposal. 'I think this is a positive step forward by the province, to have consistency throughout,' said Oro-Medonte Mayor Randy Greenlaw. Earlier this year, Oro-Medonte's integrity commissioner delivered three reports, in which one unnamed councillor was docked 90 days' pay by their fellow councillors for violating the township's code of conduct. Greenlaw said he's particularly encouraged by the education piece in Ontario's proposal. 'We all make mistakes, and we need to embrace those mistakes, take ownership of them and learn from them,' he said. 'I think that's the whole part of the process.' Orillia Mayor Don McIsaac said he too is welcoming of the province trying to create consistency among the various councils but worries some of the process comes up short. For a councillor to be effectively fired from their term, the municipality's integrity commissioner must find fault, followed by Ontario's integrity commissioner. A unanimous vote among council members must also take place to forcibly remove the individual, barring them from holding office for a four-year term. 'Maybe if it was two thirds of council at the end, that would be helpful,' McIsaac told CTV News. 'But I think at some point there needs to be some sort of accountability at the end that says if the behaviour is egregious, there's a remedy here and you can have a four-year holiday.' The Ford government said it would be consulting with the municipal sector to determine more of the framework within the legislation, before it is put in place. The province said it intends to have it go in effect by the time the next council term begins in 2026.
